Bertani is one of Veneto 's most historic and influential wineries.

The origin of Bertani

Founded in the 19th century, Bertani is one of Veneto's oldest wineries. From an early stage, the estate focused on quality, ageing potential, and precision, at a time when many wines from the region were primarily consumed locally.

Why is Bertani considered a historical landmark in Valpolicella?
Because the house showed decades ago that Valpolicella wines are suitable for long aging and international recognition.

Vineyards and origin

The core of Bertani lies in Valpolicella Classico , where the vineyards benefit from hilly terrain, chalky soils and a temperate climate with cooling influences from the mountains.

The location and soil provide structure, freshness and aromatic precision, essential for wines with ageing potential.

Grapes and style

Bertani works primarily with traditional grape varieties from Valpolicella. The house's style is classic, refined, and focused on balance and sustainability.

Important grapes are:

Corvina
Corvinone
Rondinella

The wines are characterized by:

structure and elegance
controlled force
fresh tension
excellent ripening capacity

Bertani is known for a style that is less about excess and more about freshness, precision and longevity.

Bertani and Amarone

Bertani is one of the historic founders of Amarone della Valpolicella . Instead of an extremely concentrated style, the house has always opted for a more classical interpretation, where freshness, structure, and balance are central.

Bertani's Amarone Classico is internationally renowned for its ability to age for decades and is often cited as one of the most elegant examples within the appellation.

Valpolicella and Soave

Besides Amarone, Bertani also produces classic Valpolicella wines and has long been a prominent name in Soave . This diversity demonstrates the winery's broad reach within Veneto, while maintaining a distinct signature.

Vinification and philosophy

Bertani combines traditional methods with modern precision. Long aging, careful selection, and patience are at the heart of the philosophy. The use of wood is used for support, with respect for the grape variety and its origin.

The focus is on wines that develop over time, not on immediate impact.

Who is Bertani interesting for?
